[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xenfb: connect to backend before registering fb

[Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>]

As soon as the framebuffer is registered, our methods may be called by the
kernel. This leads to a crash as xenfb_refresh() gets called before we have
the irq.

Connect to the backend before registering our framebuffer with the kernel.

[ Fixes bug http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14059 ]
